Spanish 3: 5.1-5.3

Spanish 3 semester 2 session 1: 4/18/23

By Danielle Banks

Work!

• ​Unit 4 exams were due 4/6

• ​5.1 work is due today!

Today's plan:

review study 5.1 including the subjunctive

review 5.1.11 practice

answer any questions!​

The subjunctive

This is used to express events that the speaker views as unknown, unreal, or unlikely. ​

​

The subjunctive isn't a tense (present, preterite, imperfect.. are all tenses) but rather a mood.

​

The present, preterite, imperfect are all tenses to express what happened, what is happening, or what will happen. ​

​

​The subjunctive mood is used in certain situations when the speaker presents an action as unreal, possibly unreal, less than certain, or unknown. The subjunctive mood has several tenses- we'll focus on present!

​

​

present subjunctive

present subjunctive

​essentially, when using the subjunctive, there are two verbs and a change of subject.

If the first verb expresses uncertainty, we can likely use the subjunctive. ​

present subjunctive

conjugated verb #1 + que + conjugated verb #2

​If the verb #1 expresses:

​desire

hope

influence

doubt

uncertainty​

​

We put the 2nd verb into the subjunctive​

​verbs like: querer (want) recomendar (recommend), pedir (request/ask), esperar (hope), prohibir (forbid) are used for verb #1, we must use the subjunctive in verb 2.

conjugated verb #1 + que + conjugated verb #2

​Nuestro profesor quiere que nosotros estudiemos más. 'Our teacher wants us to study more.'

In this case, the sentence doesn't say anything about whether 'studying' is a reality or not. The sentence only makes a statement about the kind of behavior the teacher would like to see. Whether or not we actually study more is unknown.

​

Esperar, querer​

5.1.11 practice part 2

Write a paragraph about a play that you have seen. If you prefer, you can make it up. Use vocabulary from the activity on plays. For example, you might tell how the usher helped you find your seat and gave you the program, how many acts and scenes there were, what the stage set looked like when the curtain rose, how the audience reacted, and so on. Write a total of ten sentences. Be creative!​

​

This does not need to be the subjunctive!​

5.1.1 has the play vocabulary!​

5.2.11 practice

• ​In this activity, you'll get an opportunity to talk about your musical preferences, and you'll also practice Spanish interjections and the use of the present subjunctive to express opinions, feelings, and emotions. Use your imagination and have fun!

  Review the interjections that were taught earlier in this lesson. Then choose any five, and for each one, create a sentence that provides an appropriate context for the interjection. Be original; don't copy sentences from the activity on interjections. For example: Yo caminaba por la calle cuando ¡zas! escuché una explosión.

5.2.7 has interjections! 5.2.1 and 5.2.4 have music!

5.2.11 practice

• part 2:

• Imagine that you're a rock star and you're telling a newspaper reporter about your plans for your next concert. Talk about the equipment you'll be using (instruments, speakers, amplifiers, microphones, sheet music, etc.) and what kinds of songs you're planning to perform. Create a total of five sentences.​

5.2.7 has interjections! 5.2.1 5.2.4 have music!

5.2.11 practice

• part 3:

• Think about a singer or band that you don't like and create five sentences telling your opinions about them, following the formula:verb of emotion/feeling/opinion + que + verb in subjunctive

5.2.7 has interjections! 5.2.1 and 5.2.4 have music!

5.2.10 discussion

Use the following questions to help you develop your comments.

• What kind(s) of music do you like to listen to? Are your tastes typical of people that you know? If not, what kind(s) of music are most popular among the people you know?

• Do you think students should be required to study music in school? Why or why not?

• What's your favorite play or theatrical performance? Why did you like it?​

study 5.2.1 and 5.2.4 discuss music / 8-10 sentences / one question

Write a total of five sentences expressing your wishes and hopes for this friend. Then, write five sentences expressing what you wish and hope for your family.

​

Esperar, querer​

​

Quiero que mi familia (subjunctive).. ​

5.2.11 practice

• part 3:

• Think about a singer or band that you don't like and create five sentences telling your opinions about them, following the formula:verb of emotion/feeling/opinion + que + verb in subjunctive

5.2.7 has interjections! 5.2.1 and 5.2.4 have music!

Impersonal expressions and subjunctive

​....everything causes the subjunctive. Everything, that is, except for certainty.

​

​Impersonal expressions..

-no specific subject (It) is usually present

​

Impersonal expression in Spanish:

Es + adjective + que + subjunctive OR indicative​

​

​Es interesante que tengas veinte gatos.

Es importante que hagas ejercicio.

​Es evidente que necesitas dormir más.

​

​Any time you judge something, try to influence someone, give advice, or express emotion in a main clause, you will have the subjunctive in the subordinate clause.

Impersonal expressions

​These expressions typically cue the subjunctive

​These expressions are considered impersonal expressions and are typically followed by the subjunctive as they are not expressing certainty.

so.. when don't we use the subjunctive?

The expression VOCCES helps to clarify words that ARE NOT followed by the subjunctive. These words express more of certainty and less of doubt, opinion or emotion.

​However, if these are made negative.. no es cierto, no es obvio.. then we use the subjunctive!
